The Great Beyond: Lake Michigan from Evanston

This has been a beautiful yet unforgiving January in the midwest. The photos in this post were taken over two separate days along Lake Michigan, on Northwestern University's Evanston campus. It was under 10 degrees on both days. Strangely, the lake looks much worse in the first two photos-- almost alien and unrecognizable-- and then improves slightly in the last three shots which were taken two days later. I don't have an explanation for that, but perhaps the snow and ice simply floated off to another part of the lakefront.
